¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

¹⁵ But with him that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day:

¹⁶ (For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;

¹⁷ And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them:)

¹⁸ Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

¹⁹ And it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of mine heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

²⁰ The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

²¹ And the LORD shall separate him unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

²² So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

²³ And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

²⁴ Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:

²⁶ For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given unto them:

²⁷ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

²⁸ And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make ^H3772 this covenant ^H1285 and this oath; ^H423

¹⁵ But with him that standeth ^H5975 here with us this ^H3426 day ^H3117 before ^H6440 the LORD ^H3068 our God, ^H430 and also with him that is not here with us this day: ^H3117

¹⁶ (For ye know ^H3045 how we have dwelt ^H3427 in the land ^H776 of Egypt; ^H4714 and how we came ^H5674 through ^H7130 the nations ^H1471 which ye passed by; ^H5674

¹⁷ And ye have seen ^H7200 their abominations, ^H8251 and their idols, ^H1544 wood ^H6086 and stone, ^H68 silver ^H3701 and gold, ^H2091 which were among them:)

¹⁸ Lest there should be ^H3426 among you man, ^H376 or woman, ^H802 or family, ^H4940 or tribe, ^H7626 whose heart ^H3824 turneth away ^H6437 this day ^H3117 from the LORD ^H3068 our God, ^H430 to go ^H3212 and serve ^H5647 the gods ^H430 of these nations; ^H1471 lest there should be ^H3426 among you a root ^H8328 that beareth ^H6509 gall ^H7219 and wormwood; ^H3939

¹⁹ And it come to pass, when he heareth ^H8085 the words ^H1697 of this curse, ^H423 that he bless ^H1288 himself in his heart, ^H3824 saying, ^H559 I shall have peace, ^H7965 though ^H3588 I walk ^H3212 in the imagination ^H8307 of mine heart, ^H3820 to add ^H5595 drunkenness ^H7302 to thirst: ^H6771

²⁰ The LORD ^H3068 will ^H14 not spare ^H5545 him, but then the anger ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068 and his jealousy ^H7068 shall smoke ^H6225 against that man, ^H376 and all the curses ^H423 that are written ^H3789 in this book ^H5612 shall lie ^H7257 upon him, and the LORD ^H3068 shall blot out ^H4229 his name ^H8034 from under heaven. ^H8064

²¹ And the LORD ^H3068 shall separate ^H914 him unto evil ^H7451 out of all the tribes ^H7626 of Israel, ^H3478 according to all the curses ^H423 of the covenant ^H1285 that are written ^H3789 in this book ^H5612 of the law: ^H8451

²² So that the generation ^H1755 to come ^H314 of your children ^H1121 that shall rise up ^H6965 after ^H310 you, and the stranger ^H5237 that shall come ^H935 from a far ^H7350 land, ^H776 shall say, ^H559 when they see ^H7200 the plagues ^H4347 of that land, ^H776 and the sicknesses ^H8463 which the LORD ^H3068 hath laid ^H2470 upon it;

²³ And that the whole land ^H776 thereof is brimstone, ^H1614 and salt, ^H4417 and burning, ^H8316 that it is not sown, ^H2232 nor beareth, ^H6779 nor any grass ^H6212 groweth ^H5927 therein, like the overthrow ^H4114 of Sodom, ^H5467 and Gomorrah, ^H6017 Admah, ^H126 and Zeboim, ^H6636 which the LORD ^H3068 overthrew ^H2015 in his anger, ^H639 and in his wrath: ^H2534

²⁴ Even all nations ^H1471 shall say, ^H559 Wherefore hath the LORD ^H3068 done ^H6213 thus unto this land? ^H776 what meaneth the heat ^H2750 of this great ^H1419 anger? ^H639

²⁵ Then men shall say, ^H559 Because they have forsaken ^H5800 the covenant ^H1285 of the LORD ^H3068 God ^H430 of their fathers, ^H1 which he made ^H3772 with them when he brought them forth ^H3318 out of the land ^H776 of Egypt: ^H4714

²⁶ For they went ^H3212 and served ^H5647 other ^H312 gods, ^H430 and worshipped ^H7812 them, gods ^H430 whom they knew ^H3045 not, and whom he had not given ^H2505 unto them:

²⁷ And the anger ^H639 of the LORD ^H3068 was kindled ^H2734 against this land, ^H776 to bring ^H935 upon it all the curses ^H7045 that are written ^H3789 in this book: ^H5612

²⁸ And the LORD ^H3068 rooted ^H5428 them out of their land ^H127 in anger, ^H639 and in wrath, ^H2534 and in great ^H1419 indignation, ^H7110 and cast ^H7993 them into another ^H312 land, ^H776 as it is this day. ^H3117

¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,

¹⁵ but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and also with him that is not here with us this day;

¹⁶ (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed;

¹⁷ and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);

¹⁸ lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

¹⁹ and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.

²⁰ Jehovah will not pardon him, but then the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and Jehovah will blot out his name from under heaven.

²¹ And Jehovah will set him apart unto evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

²² And the generation to come, your children that shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath made it sick;

²³ `and that' the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, `and' a burning, `that' it is not sown, nor beareth, nor any grass groweth therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

²⁴ even all the nations shall say, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,

²⁶ and went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given unto them:

²⁷ therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;

²⁸ and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.

¹⁴ `And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;

¹⁵ but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,

¹⁶ for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have passed by;

¹⁷ and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which `are' with them,

¹⁸ lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of gall and wormwood:

¹⁹ `And it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath, and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace, though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.

²⁰ Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,

²¹ and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.

²² `And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, --

²³ (`with' brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,) --

²⁴ yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?

²⁵ `And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,

²⁶ and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them -- gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;

²⁷ and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,

²⁸ and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as `at' this day.

¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,

¹⁵ but with him that standeth here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and with him that is not here with us this day

¹⁶ (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the nations which ye passed;

¹⁷ and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);

¹⁸ lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from Jehovah our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood,

¹⁹ and it come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to sweep away the drunken with the thirsty.

²⁰ Jehovah will not pardon him, but the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will then smoke against that man, and all the curse shall be upon him that is written in this book; and Jehovah will blot out his name from under the heavens;

²¹ and Jehovah will separate him for mischief out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

²² And the generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and its sicknesses wherewith Jehovah hath visited it,

²³ [that] the whole ground thereof is brimstone and salt, [and] burning, that it is not sown, nor beareth, and no grass groweth in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger and in his fury:

²⁴ even all nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? whence the heat of this great anger?

²⁵ And men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah the God of their fathers, which he had made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt;

²⁶ and they went and served other gods, and bowed down to them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not assigned to them.

²⁷ And the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book;

²⁸ and Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in fury, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it appears] this day.

¹⁴ Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,

¹⁵ but with him who stands here with us this day before Yahweh our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day

¹⁶ (for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed;

¹⁷ and you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them);

¹⁸ lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood;

¹⁹ and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.

²⁰ Yahweh will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.

²¹ Yahweh will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.

²² The generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick;

²³ [and that] the whole land of it is sulfur, and salt, [and] a burning, [that] it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:

²⁴ even all the nations shall say, Why has Yahweh done thus to this land? what means the heat of this great anger?

²⁵ Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,

²⁶ and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they didn't know, and that he had not given to them:

²⁷ therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against this land, to bring on it all the curse that is written in this book;

²⁸ and Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.

---

¹⁴ And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;

¹⁵ But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:

¹⁶ (For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

¹⁷ And you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them:)

¹⁸ So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;

¹⁹ If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:

²⁰ The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

²¹ He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

²² And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

²³ And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

²⁴ Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?

²⁵ Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

²⁶ And they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:

²⁷ And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

²⁸ Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out into another land, as at this day.
